SXSW09 – 29 Days Till SXSW – 3 Great Places Close to the Austin Convention Center (All Are Short Walks)

Here are links to three great places all within walking distance (short) of the Austin Convention Center.
All three places are very special, and represent Austin in their own unique way. Moonshine is a cool restaurant, with a great/interesting menu. Iron Works BBQ serves delicious BBQ and cold beer – enough said. Last, but not least, the Cedar Door, one of my most favorite places in Austin to drink and visit with friends….and the food’s not bad either. The Cedar Door is home of Austin’s original Mexican Martini (MM). The Cedar Door’s MMs = DD (delicious danger). Friends (bartenders, go figure) from other states tell me it would be illegal for them to serve the MM in their bars. I think it is appalling that some states have such hatred toward fresh lime juice that they would criminalize its use. WARNING: MM are served in the shaker glass, MMs are not a cheap drink, MMs have a time release impact (taste wonderful/so easy to drink…hits like a hammer later), and multiple servings of MMs allow you to do and/or say many stupid things. Did I say I love this place… Be safe and enjoy…
Take care, and comments are welcome…
